Default Ordered C6 Today
Finally ordered the wife a 09 Cyber Gray Coupe with the 3LT package. No I am not getting rid of Sick HP, this will just allow me to make it more insane as the wife will not have to ride in my Vette soon. I will still spend most of my time with the faithful in C5 General where I hang out most of the time, but will spend some time over in C6 General as I will not be able to leave her Vette like it is

If you goto the C6 Dealer Section they have a picture of a new Vert from one of the dealers and I saw a pre-production one while at the factory tour in early May off to the side
